The campus was constructed to the highest standards of energy efficiency and environmental stewardship. Its design incorporates extensive research into best practices in building and workplace design through extensive benchmarking of the world’s top academic, research, and corporate facilities.
What role you will play in our team
Experienced geoscientists at ExxonMobil are able to work across all stages of the business and apply the appropriate scale of investigation for each of these business stages. Experienced geoscientists integrate and interpret geological and geophysical data to support business decisions. Typical datasets for integration include seismic, logs, fluids, core, static and dynamic data, and leverage advanced mapping, interpretation, modeling, and other techniques.
They deliver accurate subsurface descriptions and communicate key risks and uncertainties. They have high business acuity and are able to express geoscience uncertainty in terms of business value. They collaborate across teams and across disciplines, especially with engineering colleagues on reservoir characterization, well planning, and drilling execution.
